TOFU is a recipe book with hopes to inspire healthy eating, especially in our hectic daily life where fast and unhealthy food is so prevalent. This is an exploration into the relationship of healthier lifestyle through Tofu; based upon the central concepts of white and emptiness, or “wu”, which can be traced to Zen Buddhism and Taoism.

White addresses the notion of “purity”, which resonates both the aspect of tofu’s natural color as well as a healthier diet. Emptiness represents the meditative process of returning to the most fundamental aspects physically (body) and spiritually (mind). Retuning our body back to “purity” and “peace” requires space.
